Swarner Communications is publishing the program guides for two events this summer that combined will bring 500,000 people to the area.

That's two special sections, half a million people. WOW!

First is Freedom Fair on Tacoma's waterfront July 4th. Our guide circulates across Ruston Way at all of the venues. The Freedom Fair combines music, food, fireworks and an airshow that delights over 150,000 spectators. The Guide also inserts into all of our publications the week before.

Next, we publish the Air Expo at McChord Field (the JBLM Air Expo also known before as the McChord Air Show). The guides are handed to attendees as they enter the gates - right into their hands, as well as at key locations inside the flight area. 350,000+ people attended the 2008 show, and the Air Force expects a similar crowd this year. The show is packed with acts, and it is our guide that give everyone the times and background info for the show.
